TPBM
I do. And since I am in the middle of a decluttering process using the KonMari method, it will be interesting to see if they still spark joy in me when I get to deciding on keeping them or not.TPBM is enjoying a beautiful sunny morning.
Indeed I am. I might even go for a walk to the convenience store in this kind of weather. :)TPBM feels like eating a medium-rare steak.
*touches arm* hmm not really, pretty normal skin-on-flesh feel I guess... (Sport for the sass but I couldn't resist!) XD
TPBM likes marking up first drafts to edit later.
For Alex-Pie: I'm always in the mood for some sushi, especially if there's crab meat in the middle. Yum!For Grace-Pie: That's what I'm currently doing with the stories that will eventually be part of a book called Poison Tongue Tales. The only problem is, I keep putting it off in favor of other creative tasks.
TPBM enjoys drinking unsweetened iced tea.
I'm not a huge fan of iced tea whether sweetened or unsweetened. TPBM has tried writing in Gallifreyan.
I have! It's hard. I can't translate it but I tried copying one that meant 'we're all just stories in the end' and it didn't really look how I meant it to... @A whoops, I read your message wrong! Thought it said 'feels like sushi'... Ha :]
TPBM enjoys looking through pictures of interesting faces.
I love them a lot. My room and the public library are my favorite places of solitude. Introverts like me need their solitude every now and then.TPBM can relate to Squall Leonhart from the videogame “Final Fantasy VIII”.
I have never played any of the Final Fantasy games and so I can't say that I do. TPBM dislikes horror movies.
I do because I find them boring.TPBM enjoys movies with minimal talking and music.
Not really, I like a lot of talking in movies. Long pointless conversations on the meaning of life and epic speeches are my favorites :) TPBM has an interesting view out their bedroom window.
Nope, it's mostly blocked by a tree.TPBM adds books to their tbr list far faster than they read them.
Yeah. There is so much to read still!TPBM has read any of Neil Gaiman's books.
I've mostly finished Smoke and Mirrors. I began it because a web page that examined my writing compared me to his a few times.TPBM doesn't finish every book s/he begins.
I try really hard to finish every book I start, but sometimes they're just so bad I can't make myself go any farther.TPBM hates it when the intro for a classic novel spoils the ending of the book.
Yeah, I don't usually read the introductions to classics. They usually seem to miss the point and then I can't enjoy the book :) TPBM has a hard time actually reading the articles in magazines and newspapers.
I didn't used to, but it has become a challenge. Actually, I'm in a phase where my body is rejecting most book, kind of like an allergic reaction.TPBM usually doesn't watch the videos on YouTube, but listens to the music while doing something else.
Youtube and Pandora, yes.TPBM is currently waiting on the next book in their series to be published and wants it now.
It's not necessarily a series, but I am waiting for a book to come out in 2017. It's called "Crazy Is My Superpower" and it's a memoir written by former WWE diva AJ Lee (writing as AJ Brooks, her real name).TPBM enjoys the song “Evil Ways (Justice Mix)” by Blues Saraceno.
I can't say I've listened to it. When TPBM knows a friend is taking a long trip, they like to send them a text to make sure they arrived there safely.
My parents are currently visiting North Carolina to try and sell a house they bought. Since my phone doesn't have texting capabilities, I usually wait until they call me the next day, which they have. They have a good feeling about how quickly it'll sell, which means we'll probably have enough money to take a vacation to Disneyland. :)TPBM wonders why the buildings in fighting videogames from the 1990’s always look dilapidated no matter where the characters are.
Never thought about that.TPBM wishes he/she could play an instrument.
I play the piano and used to play the violin, so that's not a regret I have. Garrison, I'm going to North Carolina this weekend! I hear it's beautiful there.
TPBM wishes desperately that they were good at dancing.
Yes!TPBM has visited numerous museums before.
Nope. Thank goodness. TPBM has seen a re-enactment of a Shakespeare play.
Unfortunately, yes, I have. I'm not a fan of Shakespeare since I can't decipher his dialogue, so seeing his plays weren't enjoyable experiences.TPBM enjoys the acting work of Nicky Katt.
Not in real life, though I'm dying to! It would be so awesome :D TPBM wants a motorcycle.
I have one but I do want another one. I'm greedy I guess. TPBM wants a pocket-watch.
Yes yes yes yes!!! They're so cool. My friend even has one with his name engraved in Gallifreyan on the outside. TPBM is totally up for second dinner.
Not at all.TPBM spent a long time in a car today driving or being driven to an event of some kind.
The only reason I've been in a car today was to go to dinner at the China Sun Buffet. Good food, good family, good friends.TPBM enjoys the acting work of Nicky Katt.
Can't say I know of her. TPBM knows hand sanitizer is most effective when you scrub your hands with it.
I didn't know that until you told me.TPBM has seen the movie “Brave Little Toaster” and thought it was cute and depressing at the same time.
LOL! Great title, but no I haven't. 'Cute and depressing', eh? Sound like a great endorsement.TPBM hasn't heard about candida toxicity and its link to the industrial diet of our time.
I've heard about it, but don't know much about how it works... does it have something to do with sugar and processed grains getting your gut all wonky? TPBM enjoys the possibilities posed by vampires and werewolves in stories, but rarely enjoys the actual stories they appear in.
Correct. I like character driven plot lines and writing, and often writers manage to mangle that with vampires and werewolves. Although I did enjoy the movie series with Kate Beckinsale as a vampire killing werewolves. (It added to the enjoyment having seen Kate in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing as the meek and mild much slandered maiden.[Candida - yes to grains and sugar, but that wonkiness in the gut affects the entire body, and can effect even the emotions, fatigue, allergies, getting colds, acne, and a myriad of other things all the way up to MS, cancer and death.]
TPBM enjoys writing sonnets, even if they aren't very good.
I don't like doing poetic formats that restrict what I'm going to write, sonnets and haikus being two examples. I want as much freedom as possible when it comes to my craft.TPBM knows at least one example of a male named Stacy.
Hmm... maybe not but there's still time.TPBM has at least one big collecting hobby.
In my case, I collect CD's, books, and Legos. It's quite the extensive collection. :)TPBM has already purchased a Mother’s Day present.
Ooh. No, I haven't yet--thanks for reminding me, I'd actually forgotten! :] @Guy that's really interesting to hear! I'm gluten intolerant myself, and I know that the gluten was doing strange things with my brain and mood before I got off it--I wonder if the poisoning had something to do with that as well?
TPBM enjoys preparing food.
I do, very much so
